Effective Date of Agreement and Termination This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto. This Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the Closing Date by you by notice to the Company if any of the following has occurred (i) on or after the Applicable Time, any Material Adverse Change occurs, which, in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for sale of the Securities, (ii) any new outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis or material adverse change in the financial markets of the United States or elsewhere, or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis or emergency would, in the judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Company’s securities or in trading generally in securities on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities, the NASDAQ Stock Market or in the over-the-counter markets or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or markets, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, (iv) any declaration of a general banking moratorium by Federal, New York or Maryland authorities, (v) the taking of any action by any Federal, state or local government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs that in your judgment has a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United States, and would, in the judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities or (vi) the enactment, publication, decree, or other promulgation of any Federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which would, in the judgment of the Representatives, have a Material Adverse Effect. The indemnities and contribution provisions and the other agreements, representations and warranties of the Company, its officers and directors and the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any of the Underwriters or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any controlling person thereof, (ii) acceptance of the Securities and payment for them hereunder and (iii) termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to the Company’s securities) of the second paragraph of this Section 11 or because of the failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse you for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by you. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall be liable for all expenses which they have agreed to pay pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof. Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company, the Underwriters, any Indemnified Person referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns, all as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The terms “successors and assigns” shall not include a purchaser of any of the Securities from any of the Underwriters merely because of such purchase.
Amendment and Termination of Agreement (a) We may amend any provision of this Agreement by giving you written notice of the amendment. Either party to this Agreement may terminate the Agreement without cause by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days' written notice of its intention to terminate. This Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).
Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 2001 and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.
Term and Termination of Agreement 1. This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided hereunder.
Duration and Termination of Agreement This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Portfolio on the later of (i) its execution and (ii) the date of the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, at which meeting this Agreement is approved as described below. The Agreement will continue in effect for a period more than two years from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually either by the Trustees of the Trust or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each of the Portfolios, provided that in either event such continuance shall also be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Any required shareholder approval of the Agreement or of any continuance of the Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Portfolio if a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the series (as defined in Rule 18f-2(h) under the Investment Company Act) of shares of that Portfolio votes to approve the Agreement or its continuance, notwithstanding that the Agreement or its continuance may not have been approved by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of (a) any other Portfolio affected by the Agreement or (b) all the portfolios of the Trust. If any required shareholder approval of this Agreement or any continuance of the Agreement is not obtained, the Subadviser will continue to act as investment subadviser with respect to such Portfolio pending the required approval of the Agreement or its continuance or of a new contract with the Subadviser or a different adviser or subadviser or other definitive action; provided, that the compensation received by the Subadviser in respect of such Portfolio during such period is in compliance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust, or with respect to any Portfolio by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio, on sixty days' written notice to the Adviser and the Subadviser, or by the Adviser or Subadviser on sixty days' written notice to the Trust and the other party.

With regard to the Operating Expense Limits, the Trust’s Board of Trustees and the Adviser may terminate or modify this Agreement prior to the Expiration Date only by mutual written consent. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation of the Trust to reimburse the Adviser with respect to a Fund shall survive the termination of this Agreement unless the Trust and the Adviser agree otherwise.
EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT The effective date of this Agreement shall be April 2, 1993. Wherever referred to in this Agreement, the vote or approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund shall mean the vote of 67% or more of such securities if the holders of more than 50% of such securities are present in person or by proxy or the vote of more than 50% of such securities, whichever is less.
